Hi my name is Jennifer and this is beginning of my comeback story

You all know me as Losing the jiggle with Jen but the only thing I’m losing right now is my damn mind

A few months ago I went on an incredible trip to Morocco! The sad thing is I had a pretty bad food allergy that unleashed a lot of health issues

For 10 weeks I had headaches, migraines, I was dizzy, disoriented, had eye twitching, etc before my eye doctor finally noticed a condition in my eye called papilledema

Basically my optic nerves were swollen due to too much pressure in my brain aka pseudo cerebri tumor aka fake tumor

I was treated for the condition with extremely difficult medicine for me to handle but I did my best to keep up with it. Did I mention I had to get a spinal tap? Ugh

I hit so many god damn breaking points. I’m pretty sure I’ve cried almost every single day since I got back from my trip. I was terrified

I finally got in to see a specialist, a neuro opthlamologist, thanks to my new friend @abschlotz, I owe you a lot girlfriend

He told me I had no more swelling in my eyes and that he didn’t see signs of pseudo cerebri tumor and that I possibly had a case of meningitis which could also cause all of the same symptoms

TERRIFYING

He told me my nerves are still healing after the swelling and it may take a bit for everything to calm down and get back to normal

Also terrifying. I’ve had enough

I finally hit my real breaking point when I had a massive panic attack that landed me in the ER. Cool let’s add anxiety on top of it. NBD

You know what though? I have no choice but to fight. I can’t just sit back and let this brain BS consume me

I have more weight to loose, I have many workouts to get to and most of all I have so many people that support me that I can’t let down

I don’t even know where to begin to  thank everyone who has been a part of this journey. The good, the bad and the ugly

So this is my comeback story. I’m taking it one day at a time and I’m coming back swinging

Watch out now!
